I remember the flood of ’96. I was 16. It was before they built those big berms on both sides of the river. They were shutting down traffic or diverting it in downtown, but there was still foot traffic. Tons of people were gathered on the bridge, watching the flood just as it started going over the edges near the car wash and park. People were taking pictures. Crazy huge logs were floating in the muddy water. I remember one at least as long as a school bus, and very wide. The most random thing I saw, was a little bunny rabbit on a smaller log floating by. I sometimes wondered if that rabbit survived? Think it did…it seemed to be surfing! 😀
